On Birth Control And Took Plan B Posted: 10-26-05 16:59pm
I've been off and on birth control (ortho
tri-cyclen lo) for about 2 years now.
Recently, at the beginning of this month,
I started a new pack after being off of
birth control for about 3 or 4 months. I
am very intune with my body, I can tell
when i'm ovulating, when my period is
ready to come, etc. On the the third
week, monday to be exact, I felt that
familiar twinge that is synonymous with
ovulation. That tuesday night/early
wednesday morning my boyfriend and I had
unprotected sex. It didn't occur to me
until later that I should not be ovulating
because that's what birth control is for,
to prevent pregnancy. That friday
afternoon, I went to my gyno within the 72
hour period to take plan b or emergency
contraception. I continued taking my
pills on time everyday as usual and now
i'm closing the last week. I usually get
my period on thursday of the last week.
Today is wednesday and I show no signs of
even having a period. I know the boost in
extra progestin may cause my period to be
late or not come at all, but i'm really
worried. Has anyone gone through
something like this before and should I
worry???

If your on the birth control pill why
would you be ovulating?

Exactly which is why I took the plan b
because I freaked out because I could feel
myself ovulate. My period is due today
and I took the plan b a week ago friday
and my period still hasn't come yet. I'm
guessing my body is on hormone overload
which means I maybe won't have a period
this month or it will come late.
Whatever, as long as i'm not pregnant!
